Imam of Al-Islam Mosque in Washington believes that the US and its allies so-called war on terror is in fact a war on Islam and Muslims, not just in the Middle Eastern countries but all around the world.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the notion that the US may come to terms with Islam and Islamic movements is a mistake. In a meeting with hundreds of scholars, academics, thinkers and researchers participating in the International Conference of Muslim University Professors and Islamic Awakening, Ayatollah Khamenei said that any notion that the global arrogance, led by the US, may come to terms with Islamic movements is wrong. Ayatollah Khamenei added that all the demands of the Muslims must be resolved peacefully.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Abdul Alim Musa, Imam of Masjid al-Islam in Washington, to further discuss the issue. The following is an approximate transcript of the interview.

Press TV: Iran's leader says the US will do everything it can to stop Muslim groups. Given the fact that the US has heavily been investing in anti-Islam activities, be it films, be it anything, what is the future going to be like for Muslims?

Musa: What is the future for Muslims like here in the US and all around the world, first of all, the Rahbar [Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei] was right that this war on terror, we all know, is clearly a war on Islam and it is not a regional war; it is a global war.

The US and the UK who are losing their global power do not have power to do good in the world today. They only have power to do negative or evil. So therefore whether it is encouraging what we call are trying a lot of terror that is the American government when it is an invasion, when it is media; it is the Zionist-controlled media; when they want us to fight amongst themselves, they use Saudi Arabia.

For instance, many of the illegal troops who are going into Syria to kill innocent people and to destroy the whole country, they are there at the behest of Saudi Arabian wealth and position.

While inside the country in Qatif and while Bahrain is suffering, they have no words of freedom and justice. So this war on terror is really as we know a war on Islam.

Now what is the future? I believe the future is what we Muslims make it. Therefore, as the Rahbar [Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei] said, this is a real time of diligent. We have to really stand up for justice and truth during this period and we have to be also I believe very optimistic, unjustifiably optimistic.

That means that we have to have an optimism that it even exceeds this situation and analysis and this unjustified optimism will cause us to work hard and be more diligent in our struggle to free humanity from the clutches of global Zionism.

Press TV: You are an Imam of a mosque in the states. How fast is the trend of Muslim converts growing or in other words, how much has the US been able to dissuade non-Muslims from converting to Islam?

Musa: OK. Now what happens is it is called a backfire effect. As they run people away from Islam, they actually run people toward Islam because American people are strange creatures. If you tell them to stay away from something, then they will go and investigate it.

So when this Reverend Jones wanted to burn Qurans, it caused people to read Quran even more. So the way you get people to get interested in something is to ban it. So if they ban Quran, if they try to burn the Quran, it has caused people to come to Islam faster.

So we are having, inside of the US, a serious conversion or reversion of Americans to Islam and also the interest level and the knowledge level about Islam against common people is rising. That means in a few years the Zionist media will have a weaker hold on demands and on the thinking and therefore on the policies of the people of America.

There is another issue. The Muslims themselves are very fearful right now. They have been frightened by this global war on Muslims, infiltration of the masajid [mosques], turning the Imam or the Imam Juma [Friday prayers] into a FBI collaborator which they cooperate with the FBI. This is happening a lot.

One of the mainstream Muslim organizations, Islah, said in their own magazine Horizons that they believe they estimate that there are 15 thousand agents inside the US infiltrating the masajid [mosques] and then they go on to say that they believe there are 45 thousand non-paid agents, those who cooperate for favors like Green Cards and citizenship with that.

So we see a bright future. We are not afraid of America; we are not afraid of Zionism; we are not going to sit around and allow them to say and do what they want, no. Many of us are going to stand up for Islam, for truth and for common humanity and for justice.

Never mind the US has a devout Muslim in the WH. Clearly this article is designed to distort the facts and mask the reality that the obozo is allowing activity that basically supports the Muslim terrorists to include arming them with US weapons and drone technology that are now being used against the US military. Typical Muslim propaganda.

Imam of Al-Islam Mosque in Washington believes that the US and its allies so-called war on terror is in fact a war on Islam and Muslims, not just in the Middle Eastern countries but all around the world.

Imam of Al-Islam Mosque in Washington has it backwards, Islam and the Muslims have for some time waged a war on the USA and all infidels.

He is taking the nonsensical position in order to keep the cowardly USA government on the defensive.

Islam is a theocracy. We can look upon they who are believers, and followers of Islam as either a Religious Organization, cult, whatever, or we can look upon they who are believers, and followers of Islam as a governing Theocratic entity. They provide that choice perhaps unwittingly, but Islam is the Theocracy which means they are a governing entity based in a religion.

If we choose to recognize them as a religious organization they are allowed many freedoms within our Nation, but if they are a governing entity then they are a competing force with our existing government.

We already have our constitution, Congress, our justice system, our government. Islam is aggressively fighting within our system to replace our system with their system, and without compromise. Their aggression is, or IMO should be considered a warlike Islamic government aggression against the United States Government, and the people of this Nation (Iran, and Al Queda have declared war on us in the past. We have thus far never recognized their declaration.). They should be classified as an enemy of our State, our Nation, as well should be their Marxist-Socialist allies.

Wondering after all the years as to why these people are allowed to compete with our existing government within our borders demanding their religious, and governing perspectives after they have declared war on our culture, declared themselves as our enemies, and killed our people in cold blood.

It’s long past time to address our representation in D.C. with such questions. Why are our “representation” screwing around with us, taxing, and regulating the “H” out of us, and ignoring the enemy within?

Are our people in Washington D.C. blind to the choices we have? We make a choice, and act upon that choice, or we declare their Theocracy as our new governing entity, capitulate, and pay the jizya.

Ann Barnhardt said that Islam requires all Moslems to overthrow all governments, nations, and non Sharia law.

Thus all Moslems in the United States are required by Islam to be seditious and overthrow the United States government. All Moslems in the country who are not citizens should be deported, and all who are citizens need to be imprisoned until they renounce Islam.

Ann Barnhardt wouldn’t describe Islam as a theocracy. She would describe it more as a Militaristic movement founded on genocide, subjugation of females, rape and bestiality. At the time Muhammed lived there were basically Jews, Christians and pagans. Muhammed borrowed the moon god of the pagan desert Bedouins, mixed some crackpot nonsense about Allah speaking to him, and the rest is history. Islam seeks the total eradication of non-believers. My answer is to eradicate Islam before Islam eradicates Christians and Jews.

I wish to God that all Americans understood that! I took the time to watch Ann Barnhardt's hour long presentation. It has graphic photos of YOUNG females who have had, or are undergoing female genital mutilation.

Come to me radical Islam, come to me. I will send you to your moon god, but he won't be there. You will meet a different God.

Another interpretation is that the texts in the Syriac language used by Christian Missionaries were “adapted” as the basis for the Koran. A fascinating book (by the psuedonymous author “Christoph Luxembourg” banned in Islamic countries) explores the evidence behind this view, and it’s summarized on Wikipedia.

Islam's war is on little girls crotches in the moderate 7th century hell hole of Indonesia: Devout Muslims In Indonesia Push for Female Genital Mutilation Pamela Geller: Were constantly admonished that female genital mutilation is a cultural practice that has nothing to do with Islam. Its just another lie. Even the story below, while telling us that the practice is widespread, tells us that it is not a rule set in a rigid manner by the precepts of Islam, and that it is only widespread because of the actions of the more extreme and integral fringe. The fringe made it widespread? This is just more whitewashing of Islams human rights abuses. The practice is fundamentally Islamic: Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris. Sacred Islamic Reliance: page 59, Umdat al-Salik (Reliance of the Traveler), a manual of Islamic jurisprudence certified as reliable by Egypts very own Al-Azhar University Obama say, Respect it! Java, radical Islam in favor of female genital mutilation by Mathias Hariyadi Asia News December 7 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

(The 1st victim of islam is the person who practices the lie.)

Khatam.... The passage in Sura 33 that has usually been translated as "seal of the prophets" means, according to Luxenberg, "witness". By this reading, Muhammad is not the last of the prophets, but only a witness to those prophets who came before him.

This is relevent since Moses in telling of the great prophet that was to come stated that prophet would be of the brothers of Judah.

Deut 18:15 Jehovah your God shall raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, one like me; you shall listen to him,....
